While the Gargoylemon's gruff appearance might have intimidate some... it clearly didn't intimidate Mizu. If anything, the reptilian Digimon seemed to lose his concentration at the Betamon's flirtacious nature, awkwardly looking at his partner as the Piddomon smirked. "Hey, Goyle; you always said you were looking for a date." the angel snidely commented, his more serious tone fading away as he began to rag on his embarassed partner.
"I-I can't do sushi! Th-That one Mermaimon was just a one night stand! I swear!" the flustered armored Digimon exclaimed as the two angelic Digimon soon fluttered away; leaving the girls to their business.
It would not take long before the view of the ground far down was obscured by clouds, the oxygen a tad lower initially before rising back up as they neared Luminas territory; a view of the vast fluffy range that was the Avalon Fields able to be seen as the hallmark of Empyrean Skies soon became visible... a beautiful utopia that looked more like a picture snapped out of a fairy tale. A peaceful aura practically emanated from this land, easing the heart and soul with its mere presence.
Welcome to the City of Gold and Pearls.
The streets of Luminas were as equally calming and cheery... Music played by locals gave a festive air to the city; all manners of holy, avian, and even some clear foreigners chattering amongst one another. Small storeowner were out selling all manners of wares; from delicious delicacies that clearly were not fast food to pretty trinkets to perhaps remind others of their time in Luminas. At a glance, this was nothing more but a paradise...
The question was, where to find a First or Second sphere angel? Immediately though, perhaps one of the first sights was a Digimon that might have looked extremely familiar to Naoko... a Rasielmon followed by a Patamon that was hovering by her shoulders along with a pair of Shortmon carrying multiple bags of what appeared to be recently purchased item; the ophanim conversing with a Blastmon who seemed to be selling his wares.
"As you can see here madam, this is Rafflesite... beautiful gemstone, condensed from the dying core of a Rafflesiamon. Very rare and beautiful... just like you ~" the large story-tall gem-covered golem eloquently spoke, earning him a cheerful giggle from the cat-like angel as she let out a laugh ala a noble royalwoman.
"Ohohoho ~ You flatter me darling. You know me! A gem is the ticket to a woman's heart after all!" the Rasielmon spoke, purring as their tail flickered about excitably; one of the two Shortmon motioning to their comrade and sticking their tongue out behind her back.

"E-e-e-eh, m-m-m-me too??"
Yukiko was utterly flabbergasted. She could understand Titania's dad wanting to meet Mizu, the Betamon being his daughter's girlfriend and all, but her? She was just some shy girl! Nothing special! Mizu seemed to disagree, however.
"Heck yeah, I'd love to meet your dad! Then he knows what a cool girlfriend you have, and what a cool tamer that girlfriend has!~"
Yuki stammered a bit, unable to reply from sheer flusteredness.
Both Yuki and Mizu were in awe at the beauty of Luminas. Neither had seen such splendor, such beauty, such immaculateness before! Every street they turned, they just gasped in surprise at the architecture, or in Mizu's case at how gorgeous the people were! But...where were they to find a higher sphere angel?
...oh, right there? That cat angel seemed powerful enough!
"Oh, Nao, Titania, Yuki, look, that angel looks powerful! Let's go ask her about this!"
Being faced with the sheer aura of this giant angelic cat, Yuki got cold feet, and turned to leave.
"A-a-a-ah, n-n-n-no, sh-sh-she looks t-t-too busy! L-l-l-let's go somewhere else!"
But, just as she turned to leave, someone bumped into her. Someone small and squishy, but with surprising force behind the impact! The little pink squishy thing fell to the ground and rubbed its head.
"Owieeee, sowwy miss..."
Yuki, confused and shocked, bent over.
"A-a-a-ah, n-n-no, th-th-that was my fault!"
The little pink bean angel, only about as big as Naoko's torso, floated back up and smiled at Yuki.
"Oh, no, that was my fauwt! Pwease, accept my apowogy!"
Yuki promptly got hugged by the angel, causing her to freeze on the spot...coincidentally keeping here from leaving, too.

"Yeah! I mean, I told him about all of you...so of course he'd wanna met all of you." Titania nodded. "...I can only imagine you gave me the most stellar of words." Naoko grumbled. She knew how...spiteful Titania could get sometimes, but the fairy queen actually shook her head. "...No? I'm not that kind of person..." Titania trailed off as they continued into Luminas.
Wow, it sure was shiny in here! Where indeed were they to find someone to inquire about a holy ring? Naoko's gaze fell upon a Rasielmon, and immediately her rather well-tuned poker face just sank into a scowl. Meicoomon and all of their forms were still a rather sour subject for her. Though, immediately, her attentionw as taken by the little pink thing. It spoke weird. Like the Marble Dokunemon. But smart. "...Aw."
Titania meanwhile looked to the Rasielmon, deciding to walk over to her. "Uh, excuse me, miss, may I have a moment of your time? My friend seeks a Holy Ring and isn't quite sure where the proper channels are for that. Or where a first or second sphere angel is." By all means, a very polite request.

The Rasielmon's sunny disposition practically melted away as she heard herself be spoken to, her expression growing to one of mild annoyance to the Shutumon that had dared speak to her. Gutsy lil' birdie, wasn't she? She scowled as the Blastmon somewhat timidly began polishing a ring as if minding his own business... the ophanim gazing down at Titania is judging manner. "Darling, you should at least address me by a title more grandiose than a simple miss... Don't you KNOW who I am?" she rather harshly spoke, though her expression seemed to calm as she stared at the Shutumon... and then two tamers being harassed by her idiot co-worker. She shook her as she closed her emerald eyes before taking a step back. "No... Of course you don't. Its clear that you aren't from around here. Therefore, I will be charmed to introduce myself Birdie ~"
The angel motioned the two Shortmon to back off, her Patamon follower perching on one of their heads (briefly nibbling at the frosting of the one he landed on); the angelic Digimon radiating a warm light... a slight show of their power as she bowed. "Darlings, I am the angel; Lisa the Joyous. Remember that name well, for you will not meet someone as revered as I." the Rasielmon chanted before gazing back at Titania with a smile. "Well, now that you know... I'll have you know that I am currently occupied with some shopping, BUT I would be happy to tear myself away for a princess such as you lady Titania ~"
One of the Shortmon reflexively gagged at their boss's sickeningly sweet display... though the Patamon batted at him with one of their paws.
Lisa soon paused, she gazing at Mizu as she walked over and bent down to gaze at the Rookie level... briefly examining the fish's body and fin with a curious look... though soon enough shook her head dismissively. "No, this won't do... Scales don't shimmer enough, and the fin could use work. Probably needs some wax. This is unacceptable. They'd make a poor display at the wedding!"
... Wedding? It... might be possible that the angel misheard something.

The tiny bean Digimon hid behind Yuki as Lisa approached. The giant Rasielmon's mood swings left a rather weirded-out impression upon human and Digimon! Mizu, who had previously been rather smitten by the cat's looks, was now rather confused, and a big nauseated! And when Lisa stood right in front of her, judging her looks, she was too baffled to even say anything.
Yukiko, who was breathing in deeply to gather her bearings, eventually managed to talk.
"I-I-I-I am deeply sorry, Archangel Lisa. You must have misunderstood. W-w-w-we are not here for a wedding ring. W-w-we seek a holy ring. I s-s-seek a holy ring for my partner, s-s-so we can protect our friends better. We would be most honoured if you c-c-could be so kind as to give us a chance to prove our worth of one..."
It was hard for the little bean to suppress a sarcastic chuckle behind Yuki's back at these words. If only they knew...

It took but a single interaction with this definitely, very friendly angel to tip both Naoko and Titania off to something being off here. Especially for the latter. She didn't want to wed Mizu!...Yet at least. They were here for a holy ring, damn it! "Of course, my apologies, Lady Lisa." Titania thought that was a horrible name. Lisa? Really? All the names in the world and you pick Lisa?
"Miss Yukiko is right, though. As much as I want to marry Mizu, that's...really not what we're here for. We're seeking a holy ring and the appropriate channels to try for one." She was half-repeating herself and half-explaining herself. Naoko noticed that Titania was...seething for some reason.
It then hit her that Lisa basically called Mizu, who was already pretty much perfect as she was, kind of ugly. Suddenly? Titania's...seething didn't make little sense. It made a bit more sense.

Lisa's confusion WAS technically genuine... The truth of the matter was she had only really heard the ring part of the conversation (she tended to tune out the lower-class) and merely went on a gut instinct based off her own future sight... what did this lil' birdie see in a drab fish anyway? Guess that is what happens when you reject greatness. Regardless, the angel could not help but crack a smile... a mocking one as she shook her head at these commoners' naivety. "Oh darlings... You just are acting adorable right now." she rather haughtily spoke, the highly-groomed and fluffy, white tail of the Rasielmon drawn forward from her backside; the braided tail having a holy ring adorning it. "Allow me to educate you children on the aspects of what quantifies a true holy ring wielder... It requires dedication. Talent. Nobility. Purity. Not just any knave can waltz in and ask for one... You must PROVE your worthiness and loyalty to powers greater than you to dare be able to obtain one!"
She bent down to gaze at Mizu... and compared to their graceful visage, those emerald eyes practically glared down into Mizu's core... the angel adopting a venomous tone as they gazed at Mizu. "I am among those who decide who is and who is NOT worthy of a ring... And frankly dear? I don't think you have what it takes. The bird perhaps... but there IS no future for you unless you can prove otherwise." Lisa spoke with a cold tone, any air of ditziness and grace vanishing.
... The truth was, the fish had potential. Most individuals have fates that are meaningless, but some have far more groundbreaking. Lisa found it hard to imagine what could entail this pondscum to share such importance, but she refused to merely offer this thing the hopes of a holy ring. Only those who proved themselves loyal to angels such as her deserved such an artifact. Did they THINK it would be EASY?!
... Still, perhaps they could be useful to her. Even pawns had uses after all.

Mizu was utterly taken aback by Lisa's demeanor. How could someone this hot and pretty be such a bitch???
Before she could speak, her attention was pulled towards Yuki behind her. The girl was breathing slowly and deeply, and her usually so gentle eyes had turned sharp and focussed. This could only mean one thing: she was mad as -hell-!
The pink Digimon noticed this, too, and held the girl in place, even as she tried to approach the giant cat angel.
After another deep breath, Yuki spoke.
"We...thank you for giving us a moment of your time...Mistress Lisa...however...I was taught not to jump to the first offer given to me. I apolgise...but...we wish...to look around more. But...we will come back...to your offer once we had a look about...have a wonderful day."
She bowed in a stiff manner and quickly strode off, half walking herself half being pushed gently by the pink bean. The bewildered Mizu just looked after her, then turned back to Lisa and bowed.
"Ah, yes, thank you ma'am! Gotta jet, sorry!"
With that, she quickly waddled after Yuki!

Yeah, there was definitely several things wrong with this crap. Titania looked like she was about to attempt doing to the Rasielmon what she had tried to do to K when she had attacked the Library, but was capable of restraining herself. How dare she talk down to her Mizu like that. How DARE she. Naoko stepped over to her partner and reached up to put a hand on the tall bird lady's shoulder.
It wasn't worth it.
"Then we'll go seek out other avenues." Titania finally spoke. It was quick. Direct. Delivered with the precision that only a princess or a queen could manage. "Good day." She stated, raising a thumb to where her mouth would be as she turned. Did she just fucking bite her thumb at Lisa?
Yes.
Yes she did.
Naoko and Titania made sure to follow Yuki and Mizu. The former...well, she had her own thoughts. "Okay, so, from what I have just learned, it doesn't matter where you find them, anything that has Meicoomon in it is in fact a colossal asshole. Is there ANYTHING else we can do here? Who else even does this ring stuff?" Naoko huffed.

Tch. What a bunch of fucking idiots. She had thought humans were at least smart. Didn't they know a good deal when they see it? Oh well... Guess she'll handle cleaning up Luminas of its scum another time. Sensing the anger from these girls, Lisa gave a smug smile as she courteously bowed. "Very well darlings. Please do reconsider when you have time... Unfortunately, I am a busy woman who will be occupied for the remainder of today; you will have to wait for tomorrow." the Rasielmon spoke before reaching into her coat... pulling out a bag of bits thar jangled as she placed it on the Blastmon merchant's counter as she practically snatched the gemstone he was holding. "Toodles ~" she cooed, not before giving the trio of Rookies behind her a death glare and walking off, her entourage quickly following her.
The Blastmon had been... well, silent throughout the entire ordeal. Honestly, could you blame him? At least the girls weren't the only ones who seemed to recognize the angelic Mega level's true colors.
Regardless... Yes, as it turns out; almost every Digimon related to Meicoomon was a colossal asshole.

Only after moving far enough away and into a side alley did Yukiko stop. And then she growled to herself.
"Stupid fucking bitch who the -fuck- does she think she is talking to us like that how -dare- she call Mizu ugly, just because she's a fucking angel doesn't give her the right to talk like that!"
Both Mizu and the pink bean recoiled at Yuki's rage, but the pink one soon approached again, hugging her.
"Hey, pwease, cawm down! Angew won't hewp us hewe!"
The heart on his chest glowed, and Yuki slowly did calm down.
"I...guess you're right. But why would an angel that powerful be so -nasty-?"
"Oh, that is a woooooong stowy! I dunno if you wanna heaw it! Oh! Whewe awe my mannews? My name is Bean! I am a MawineAngemon!~
The little bean twirled about in the air and bowed. Mizu let out an "Awwwww" without realizing it.
"Ah, uh, m-m-my name is Yukiko, a-a-and that is my partner, Mizu...I w-w-would love to hear your s-s-story! H-h-how about you, Nao?"

Titania, once out of earshot of Lisa, also had a few strong words to state. "The AUDACITY of this harlot is fucking astounding. Really, Naoko's got a point. Meicoomon are a mistake." Barring Tawna and/or Mae. Naoko, having already gotten her snarky and angry remarks out, found she was a little more calm. "...The bean's right. Um...I hate her too but we do need to keep our heads clear. And unclouded."
Titania looked to Yukiko at her question, and she found she could provide a simple answer. "Absolute power corrupts. Dad once told me that if you want to see someone's true character, just give them a bit of power." Seemed Lisa's own character had become apparent back there, upon thinking about it...
Naoko looked to Bean. Wait. His name was actually Bean? Something lifted in Naoko as she gave a silent nod to Yukiko. Yep, she was down for storytime.

Yukiko nodded.
"V-v-v-very well, Mister Bean, p-p-p-please tell us the whole story!"
Bean nodded.
"Hooway!~ Weww, the stowy stawted a wong time ago, when Wisa managed to get into powew! She did so thwough her smawts, she is vewy smawt! But she is aww bwains and no heawt! She sneaks and steps on peopwe to get whewe she wants! She's stoked the anti-Viwus sentiments to secuwe hew powew in Wuminas, and keeps evewyone she does now wike undew wock and key!
...incwuding my best fwiend..."
The bean looked down sadly.
"Wisa does not wike my fwiend, so with contwived weasons she got her wocked up...and she wants to execute hew soon..."
Yukiko looked saddened and shocked.
"What...she has your friend locked up and wants to kill her? That's terrible...!"

"So...she's just a sociopathic cat that happens to have a lot of power under her heel...Sheesh. That's horrifying." Titania mumbled. Naoko meanwhile continued to listen to Bean. She felt a swell of pity for the little guy. He was suffering thanks to Lisa? Sheesh...The girl found herself kneeling down to pull the bean into a hug.
She felt like that was the right thing to do. "...I'm really sorry to hear that. Um..."
...No. Koko. Don't do it. This is a horrible idea. Don't do it. For the love of God do not.
"...Is there any way we could help your friend? In exchange, you could...maybe point us to one of the nicer angels...?"

There was shock. But not shock from Yukiko over Naoko's suggestion, but from Mizu, because Yukiko agreed without second thought.
"Yes, please, tell us how we can help! We want to help your friend, and then you can help us!"
The MarineAngemon looked them over.
"But...it's dangewous! You could get huwt!"
"W-w-well, I d-d-don't care!"
Bean blinked, then nodded and smiled, with a tear in his eye.
"Oh, you two awe the best! I don't know how to thank you!
Okay, I have a simpwe pwan. You see the big buiwding with the cwock face ovew thewe? That is the couwt house! They keep the wecowds of evewy pewsecution thewe! You'we humans, and non-Wuminians to boot! Most secuwity measuwes awe made with Digimon infitwatows in mind! I can show you a back entwance! Pwease, you must get the couwt wecowd of Abigail Williams! That is my fwiend! Pwease, we must pwove she did nothing wwong!"
Yuki blinked, needing a second to sort through the ws. Then she looked at Naoko.
"...are you ready for some espionage?"
